STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Onshore Students
The information below is to be supplied to EIT in support of an application for admission to EIT. The Statement of
Purpose (SOP) assists applicants to demonstrate that they satisfy the genuine temporary entrant (GTE) and Genuine
Student (GS) compliance requirements.
We encourage applicants to put as much information into their SOP as possible to help create a holistic view of their
circumstances. Statements should be personalised, as generic statements will not be considered as evidence of
sufficient research or knowledge e.g. saying ‘The course is of good quality and will help me get a job would be
unacceptable.
Please note that we can make a decision on a student application with the information provided (including the
information given in this SOP). There is no requirement for EIT’s Admissions Officers to request further information
from an applicant.
Applicants are required to complete all sections of this SOP in full sentences, in their own words.
